What a shame that some people have bought tickets as they see this as an opportunity to resell these tickets at very high prices. I just looked at Stubhub and someone is asking $2499.00
Simply, when you sell tickets, hold them at Will Call, and have the person show ID and credit card. This will minimize some of the abuse and more tickets will be available for true fans !
